HI KEITH ..I THINK IT WOULD BE EXCELLENT AS A RARE SOUL MEET-UP / FAIR A BIT LIKE JOHN PUGH DID YEARS AGO IN HEATH TOWN WOLVES, AND FITS IN WITH A WAY FOREWORD AS WE NEAR 40 YEARS SINCE UP THE JUNCTION, I HAVE PLENTY OF EVENT IDEAS, THAT I AM SURE IF PITCHED CORRECTLY WOULD ATTRACT YOUNG AS WELL AS US, YOU COULD PUT ON A 100 CLUB EVENT IN THE NORTH A BIT LIKE WHEN ADY MICK AND BUTCH DID NOW AND AGAIN AT KEELE, I RECKON IF YOU SAY IT'S GOT THE VIBES THEN IT.S WORTH A PUNT, ANY ASSISTANCE I CAN GIVE PM ME DAVE KILWORTH DtheDRUG, I AM CHEAP AS CHIPS..GOOD LUCK,

HI ALL.. THE POSTAGE COST HAS ALWAYS GOT TO ME ON EBAY, AS WE ALL NO IT'S A PERK FOR THE SELLER, IF I THINK IT'S TO HIGH, AND I MEAN LIBERTY TAKERS, EVERY ONE SHOULD SEND A MESSAGE TO THE SELLER STATING WHATS THE EXTRA CASH FOR, IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING IF EBAY HAD A POSTAGE CHART, AS A GUIDE FOR THE BUYER, I DON'T WANT TO UPSET DEALERS, BUT IT WORKS OUT, EVEN IF YOU ARE THE ONLY BIDDER A £1.99 45 COSTS £4 -£5 TO BUY, WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR BOX OUT TO A SOUL NIGHT AND SOME ONE PULLS A RECORD OUT AND SAYS HOW MUCH? YOU SAY £13 THEY SAY CHEERS I WILL HAVE IT AND YOU REPLY THAT WILL BE £21.55 WHAT WOULD YOUR RESPONSE BE?? YOUR PAUL ANKER IS A NICE COLLECTIBLE THE ACID TEST IS IF YOU COME TO SELL, I THINK IN YOUR CASE, THE RECORD IS A CLEVER TOUCH AND WORTH £30+ BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BERGEN IF YOU HAD NOT PAID ABOVE THE ODDS POSTAGE, AND SOMETIMES IT COMES LATE, EVEN MORE REASON TO QUESTION THE POSTAGE. PAUL ANKAS NORTHER DANCERS ARE ALL WORTHY OF OWNING AS THEY GREAT EXAMPLES OF RECORDS THAT PACKED THE DANCE FLOOR AND WHEN PLAYED THE MEMORIES ARE AS STRONG AS THEY CAN GET, BOTH OF PAUL'S DANCERS IN MY BOOK AND ARE 1st CLASS EXAMPLES OF NORTHERN SOUL DAVE

Hi Pete everyone......There are some records that Mick Smith will always BU and this is one of them , sadley it does not get played much, but there was a time when it was a record to own, rare on UK DAVE THIS IS MY DEMO THAT I GOT FROM?????MICK SMITH>

Having looked at your Sample sticker, it looks good and proper to me, if there is label damage under the sticker it's from someone trying to remove the label?? the stick adds no value to the record unless it is on a withdrawn issue , apart from withdraw stock copy's, matrix # ID will tell you if the sticker is not meant to be on the record, and all demos are easy to spot as thay have sample in yellow paint on label Dave

being scripted dex at 59 oh an rare elite soul sounds D the DRUG

Hi Paul as you are a youngster if you can come to mine you borrow a couple of Hundred rare UK originals at anytime plus in all the top rare modern soul stuff if you like the stuff and then there my torch gems, as I am still skin and in the same position I was in before Christmas I have no way of bringing them to you, so if you know someone i will put a box together, you have all been good to me and it would make me feel good to start and repay you for your true Northern Soul Brother qualities, i hope it.s the best bash ever mate you deserve it, AS ALWAYS PAUL skint AKA DAVE KILWORTH,

HI TOADY BOY....WHAT PICTURE? THE GREEK COPY WHICH IS THE ONE IN SCAN COME FROM ORIGANALLY JIM SILLES IN LONDON AS I HAVE HELD IT IN MY MITS AND AS THE PEDIGREE OF YJE ORIGANAL OWNER (JIM) ANY BOOTLEG MUST HAVE BEEN MADE AFTER HE SOLD IT ON, DAVE

HI ALL WHAT A GREAT RECORD, QUITE RARE WITH A SMALL PRICE TAG 40ISH ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF THE EARL CLASSIC 'HEY GIRL DON'T BOTHER ME' TAMS HMV/ABC DAVE

HI ALL ...A FEW WEEKS AGO I FOUND DEE DEE SHARPS 'DEEP DARK SECRET B/W GOOD C335 & BABY CAKES B/W GRAY C219, WHILE LOOKING THROUGH STUFF IN MY LOFT, THEY MUST HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS, AS FOR UK COPY'S OF NIGHT B/W RIDE C230 ISSUE 35, DEMO 70, STANDING IN THE NEED OF LOVE B/W I REALLY LOVE YOU C375 80 ISSUE DEMO 150, AND I BELIEVE I HAVE UNDERVALUED THESE AS ALL CAMEO PARKWAY RECORDS ARE ELUSIVE, I GOT A US TYMES ISSUE FOR 8 , I SEE MORE US DEMOS THAN ISSUES NOT QUITE SURE THE GOING PRICE, BUT IT'S A BARGAIN, DAVE

HI ALL...I ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE ALL GOT A COPY OF "THAT BEATN RHYTHM' 1962 - 1975. BY PADDY GRADY, IF NOT GET A COPY, IT IS ESSENTIAL READING, FOR SO ULSTERS FROM NOTHHAMPTONSHIRE BUCKS BEDS CAMBS & HERTS, NOT QUITE COMPREHENSIVE, BUT THERES ENOUGH TO WANT AND GO ON A PILGRIMAGE (APT JOHN BUNYAN) ON A DIFFERENT SUBJECT, I HAVE NOT SEEN GLEN BELLAMY FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR HOPE HE IS OK, AND I WAS LUCK ENOUGH TO MEET ALAN DAY AT TORCH 9 AFTER 30+ YEARS WHO PLAYED HERE I GO AGAIN JUST FOR ME, A NICE TOUCH. DAVE

I NEVER GOT TO GO TO THE BIRDS NEST, BUT MY MATES FROM HITCHIN LETCHWORTH & STEVENAGE DID, THEY ALL WENT TO THE BLACK HORSE, BIG CLIVE & MICK SMITH FOUND SOME TOP SOUND IN THE STATES AT THIS TIME AND TOO THEM TO TONY JEBB AT THE MECCA BLACKPOOL, BUT THEY WERE PLAYED FIRST IN THE DIVE BAR IN HITCHIN, WHERE MYSELF BILLY MAC AND MICK DJ ed EVERY FRI SAT NIGHT IN 1972, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T NO MEL WILLIAMS? GET A COPY YOU WONT REGRET IT. DAVE

I HAVE COME TO REA LISE THAT A RECORD INDEED A RARE RECORD COLLECTION HAS MORE VALUE THAN GOLD, AS I HAVE SOLD MINE, BUT I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO PART WITH ANY OF MY UK COLLECTION. I FOUND YOUR COMMENTS ON "YOUR WIGAN COLLECTION" THIS STATEMENT IS A COMMON RARE SOUL COMMENT FROM OUR SCENE, WHERE WE TALK ABOUT OUR RECORDS IN A LOVING WAY, AS IF THEY WERE BORN STOKE MANCHESTER WIGAN & BLACKPOOL AND THE NEW ARRIVALS WERE BORN IN LONDON STAFFORD.....YOU GET MY DRIFT THE CARSTAIRS BLACKPOOL 1973 AND STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE & KICKING, WHAT EVER YOU DO NEVER SELL IT, IT'S WORTH MUCH MORE THAN £$£$£$ DAVE

HI I HAVE NEVER OWEND THIS CLASSIC IF YOU WANT TO TRADE IT FOR A DIFFERANT RARE RECORD LET ME KNOW DAVE

Hi All ...It was a re prom not a mispress.. the record is not worth much at all, and is just a collection filler, if you got £10 for a copy. you did well, and with a torn label ?? worthless, sadley apart from a few numbers, it is my opinion that any one who pays good money for later Motown Demo is or has blinkers as they are in the main rubbish especially those that did not have Northern soul interest? DAVE

HI THAT IS WHAT JOHN SOLD IT FOR 3 QUID AND THAT WAS GOOD MONEY, HE HAD 5 OR 6 COPY'S IN LATE 74 ONLY 2 WERE LISTED IN MAY 75, I ASSUME THE OTHERS WENT TO DJ'S FOR A BIGGER AMOUNT. I WILL CHECK MY LISTS. DAVE

HI ALL GOT A RECORD FROM CANADA LAST FRIDAY, POSTED ON THE 10th DECEMBER 2010, THAT'S ABOUT NORMAL FOR STANDARD SHIPPING, DID YOU NO OR DO YOU NO? THAT A 1st CLASS STAMP ON A LETTER MEANS IT HAS 3 DAYS TO REACH IT'S DESTINATION, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THE NEXT DAY YOU HAVE TO SPEND£5 I THINK?? WHEN DID FIRST CLASS POSTAGE CHANGE? AS IT USED TO BE GUARANTEED NEXT DAY NOT 3 DAYS! ANYONE!!!? DAVE KIL
